The Trial Bank system: capturing randomized trials for evidence-based medicine

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2003:2003:1076.

Abstract

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are one of the best sources of evidence for the scientific practice of medicine. However, RCT findings are published only as text articles that are of limited machine understandability. The Trial Bank system captures information about the design, execution, and summary results of RCTs into a structured electronic knowledge base called RCT Bank.
